Good Morning America reported today that 22 million americans are suffering with arthritis and 1 million new cases are diagnosed each year. This has been true for more years than we know. Dr. Brown reports in "The Road Back" that arthritis is the oldest disease among human beings. Six billion dollars a year were being spent in the 1980's when the book was published. Given the huge increase in the cost of doctor office visits, referrals to specialists, lab tests and prescription drugs; that number has no doubt increased substantially.
Watch the commercial on TV for the latest arthritis drug being pushed. They want you to believe that it is the treatment you need to live a normal life. In fact that drug suppresses the immune system and leaves the body open to infection like tuberculosis, liver disease and sometimes death. The effects burn out and the person is left with more serious arthritis and waiting for the next wonder drug.
Don't put yourself in a position to be a guinea pig for the latest money maker drug. Take control of your health. Contact me and I will help you get started. The treatment in the book I have mentioned has worked to 10's of thousands of Dr. Browns patients, it's working for me now. Why wait any longer to get on the road back to health.

NSAIDS & Weight Gain
I'm rather disappointed in my doctor. I guess if you go in the first time knowing what you need they think you're going to figure out everything else. She almost let me walk out with nothing but advice to be more disciplined concerning my weight gain. It took the threat of a 500 calorie diet to convince her to prescribe Phentermine. I do notice that I can eat quite a bit less. As for the energy boost, not happening. I don't think that it will be able to override the current effects of arthritis.
It is very clear at this point that the process is going to have ups and downs, good days and not so good days. When a disease has lived in your body since childhood it doesn't seem unreasonable that the end result is a ways off. There really are no other alternatives to consider, so sticking with antibiotics makes more sense than going back to drugs that just cover up the progression of disease.
My husband travels for work and is gone about half of the time. With that my son Corey and I do a lot of projects together. Sometimes I end up doing things I really shouldn't and end up paying in pain. We scraped the garage to prepare for painting and now I am paying for it. Stiffness that wakes me up at night as well as
fatigue. I can hear the crunching in my muscles and tendons. Collagen is destroyed by arthritis. Generally we think of arthritis affecting joints but it does in fact damage connective tissue and muscle. The upside is that when the disease is gone the collagen regrows and function returns with muscle strength.
My letter to the publisher of "The Road Back" was returned to me undeliverable. I am hoping that the publishing house is still open and I will be able to find them. My goal of having a PDF of this book available on the blog is not going to be as easy as first thought.
My husbands cousin has a daughter who is 12 yrs. old and has been suffering from Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis most of her life. A copy of Dr. Brown's book to her parents and am hoping that she will be able to get on this program. I will post an update on the decision that is made for her.
